Biden Slams Trump’s ‘Foolish’ Russia Stance, Rejects 100-Day Triumph Claims

In a fiery BBC Radio 4 interview, former President Joe Biden tore into Donald Trump’s first 100 days, dismissing claims of triumph as hollow. Biden accused Trump of cozying up to Russia’s Vladimir Putin, calling his approach to the Russia-Ukraine war "modern-day appeasement." He warned that expecting Putin to stop at Ukraine’s borders is "foolish," slamming Trump’s suggestion that Ukraine cede land, including Crimea, for peace.

Biden didn’t hold back on Trump’s Oval Office antics, particularly his jab at Volodymyr Zelenskyy alongside Vice President JD Vance. "Beneath America," Biden scoffed, also mocking Trump’s wild talk of annexing Greenland or making Canada a state. "What president talks like that?" he asked, stressing America’s commitment to freedom and democracy, not "confiscation."

Defending his own record, Biden boasted of historic job creation, a soaring stock market, and renewed global influence. He contrasted this with Trump’s economic gripes, where the current president blamed Biden for a "sinking" economy. Biden shrugged off Trump’s self-proclaimed "historically great" 100 days, dryly noting, "I’ll let history judge."

The clash reveals a deeper divide: Biden sees a world where standing firm against autocrats like Putin strengthens democracy, while Trump’s deal-making risks emboldening them. As tensions simmer, the stakes for global stability couldn’t be higher.
